Ashes of Life<\/p>\n

Love has gone and left me and the days are all alike;
\nEat I must, and sleep I will,?and would that night were here!
\nBut ah!?to lie awake and hear the slow hours strike!
\nWould that it were day again!?with twilight near!<\/p>\n

Love has gone and left me and I don’t know what to do;
\nThis or that or what you will is all the same to me;
\nBut all the things that I begin I leave before I’m through,?
\nThere’s little use in anything as far as I can see.<\/p>\n

Love has gone and left me,?and the neighbors knock and borrow,
\nAnd life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse,?
\nAnd to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow
\nThere’s this little street and this little house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
